>> FROM ARCADIA,
CALIFORNIA, THE CARTER REPORT
00:00:07.26\00:00:09.33
PRESENTS "THE LIVING
WORD" AROUND THE WORLD.
00:00:09.33\00:00:14.76
>> THERE'S AN OLD SAYING,
YOU KNOW, THAT A CAT LOOKS AT
00:00:17.26\00:00:22.20
THE KING, BUT THE
CAT DOESN'T SEE THE KING.
00:00:22.20\00:00:26.96
YOU SEE, THE CAT HAS GOT
SIGHT, BUT THE CAT DOESN'T
00:00:26.96\00:00:30.96
HAVE INSIGHT.
00:00:30.96\00:00:34.20
I GUESS THAT'S LIKE MOST PEOPLE
00:00:30.96\00:00:34.20
IN THE WORLD TODAY.
00:00:35.43\00:00:37.43
THEY GOT SIGHT, BUT
THEY DON'T HAVE INSIGHT.
00:00:37.43\00:00:43.56
BILLIONS LOOK AT THE CROSS
OF CHRIST, BUT THE QUESTION IS,
00:00:43.56\00:00:51.00
DO THEY SEE?
00:00:51.00\00:00:52.53
THE CRUCIFIXION OF CHRIST, IN MY
HUMBLE OPINION IN THE OPINION OF
00:00:52.53\00:00:57.16
MANY, MANY, PEOPLE, IS THE MOST
IMPORTANT EVENT IN THE HISTORY
00:00:57.16\00:01:04.16
OF THE HUMAN RACE.
00:01:04.16\00:01:06.80
IT IS THE MYSTERY THAT
SOLVES ALL OTHER MYSTERIES.
00:01:06.80\00:01:13.06
TODAY WE'RE GONNA ASK GOD
TO HELP US TO BE NOT QUITE LIKE
00:01:13.06\00:01:17.53
THE CAT, BUT BETTER THAN
THE CAT AND NOT JUST TO LOOK,
00:01:17.53\00:01:21.40
BUT ALSO TO SEE.
00:01:21.40\00:01:24.56
BECAUSE IF WE HAVE THE GIFT OF
SPIRITUAL INSIGHT, THIS WILL BE
00:01:24.56\00:01:31.30
THE ULTIMATE SOLUTION TO
EVERY ONE OF OUR PROBLEMS,
00:01:31.30\00:01:36.43
WHATEVER YOUR PROBLEM MAY BE.
00:01:36.43\00:01:39.36
I'M SO PLEASED TODAY TO HAVE
WITH US A FRIEND FROM INDIA,
00:01:39.36\00:01:43.83
HIS NAME IS DR. JOHNSON JACOB.
00:01:43.83\00:01:47.76
HE'S OVER HERE TODAY BECAUSE
HE'S STAYING WITH US FOR A MONTH
00:01:47.76\00:01:51.43
AT THE CARTER REPORT STUDIO
AND HE IS TRANSLATING INTO
00:01:51.43\00:01:55.96
THE TELUGU LANGUAGE, OUR
LATEST EVANGELISTIC SERIES.
00:01:55.96\00:02:00.63
MY DEAR FRIENDS, MY FRIENDS
AROUND THE WORLD, WOULD YOU
00:02:00.63\00:02:04.13
PLEASE WELCOME WONDERFUL
MAN OF GOD FROM THAT VAST LAND
00:02:04.13\00:02:07.76
OF INDIA, DR. JOHNSON JACOB?
00:02:07.76\00:02:15.80
YES, TO YOU TOO.
00:02:21.30\00:02:21.36
DR. JACOB, WELCOME TO OUR
CHURCH AND TO THIS MINISTRY.
00:02:22.73\00:02:29.13
TELL ME, HOW MANY PEOPLE
LIVE IN THE LAND OF INDIA?
00:02:29.13\00:02:33.73
>> NEARLY 1.2 BILLION PEOPLE
LIVE IN THE LAND OF INDIA.
00:02:33.73\00:02:39.96
>> I COME FROM A LAND
WHERE THERE'S 21, AT THE MOST,
00:02:39.96\00:02:42.93
MILLION PEOPLE.
00:02:42.93\00:02:45.16
THIS GREAT LAND OF
00:02:42.93\00:02:45.16
THE UNITED STATES
HAS AROUND 300 MILLION,
00:02:45.93\00:02:49.13
BUT INDIA HAS A POPULATION
4 TIMES GREATER THAN THE WHOLE
00:02:49.13\00:02:53.73
OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
00:02:53.73\00:02:55.86
WHAT BRINGS YOU HERE TO ARCADIA?
00:02:55.86\00:02:58.60
>> I CAME HERE AS MY LORD SAVIOR
SENT ME TO REPRESENT THE PEOPLE
00:02:58.60\00:03:03.53
OF INDIA HERE AND ALSO TO
TRANSLATE THE MESSAGES OF PASTOR
00:03:03.53\00:03:09.06
JOHN CARTER SO THAT I COULD HELP
HIM TO REACH THE INDIAN HOMES,
00:03:09.06\00:03:15.66
TO TEACH THEM THE
TRUTH FROM THE HOLY BIBLE.
00:03:15.66\00:03:20.26
>> SO WE'RE
BROADCASTING OVER THERE.
00:03:20.26\00:03:23.30
IS OUR TELEVISION PROGRAM WORTH
ALL THE EFFORT AND ALL YOUR
00:03:23.30\00:03:28.76
TRANSLATING AND ALL THE MONEY?
00:03:28.76\00:03:31.46
IS IT HAVING SOME IMPACT?
00:03:31.46\00:03:33.46
>> YES, OF COURSE.
00:03:33.46\00:03:35.16
THERE IS A LOT OF IMPACT
IN THE MINDS OF THE PEOPLE,
00:03:35.16\00:03:39.83
THE MESSAGES THAT WE,
FROM THE CARTER REPORT,
00:03:39.83\00:03:43.70
PRESENTING TO THE PEOPLE.
00:03:43.70\00:03:45.23
THERE ARE THREE, FOUR REASONS.
00:03:45.23\00:03:47.66
NUMBER ONE, THE MESSAGES
PRESENTED BY PASTOR CARTER
00:03:47.66\00:03:51.40
ARE INTELLECTUAL AND CONVINCING.
00:03:51.40\00:03:54.46
THE PEOPLE OF INDIA ARE
THIRSTY FOR THE WORD OF GOD.
00:03:54.46\00:03:58.96
THERE ARE MANY, MANY PEOPLE WHO
CANNOT COME OUT OPENLY TO LISTEN
00:03:58.96\00:04:04.90
TO THE MESSAGES, BUT
THROUGH THE TELEVISION PROGRAMS,
00:04:04.90\00:04:09.56
THEY'RE ABLE TO SIT AND WATCH
PASTOR CARTER, SPEAKING TO THEM
00:04:09.56\00:04:14.73
FROM THE WORD OF GOD.
00:04:14.73\00:04:17.10
>> PASTOR JACOB, WE ARE
PRIVILEGED TO HAVE YOU HERE.
00:04:17.10\00:04:20.86
YOU'RE A BROTHER IN
CHRIST AND YOU'RE A MAN OF GOD.
00:04:20.86\00:04:24.00
WHAT IS THE MAIN
RELIGION IN INDIA?
00:04:24.00\00:04:27.80
>> THE MAIN RELIGION OF THE
PEOPLE OF INDIA IS HINDUISM,
00:04:27.80\00:04:31.30
THE WORSHIP, IT IS HEATHENISM
AND THEY WORSHIP HEATHEN GODS.
00:04:31.30\00:04:36.43
>> ARE CHRISTIANS
PERSECUTED TODAY IN INDIA?
00:04:36.43\00:04:41.23
>> THERE ARE MANY, MANY PLACES
WHERE CHRISTIANS ARE TERRIBLY
00:04:41.23\00:04:46.40
PERSECUTED IN INDIA.
00:04:46.40\00:04:49.06
I HAVE PERSONALLY SEEN,
WITNESSED, WENT TO THOSE PLACES,
00:04:49.06\00:04:54.80
TALKED WITH THOSE PEOPLE.
00:04:54.80\00:04:57.00
RECENTLY, WE HAD A CONFERENCE,
PASTOR'S CONFERENCE IN
00:04:57.00\00:05:00.96
OUR UNION.
00:05:00.96\00:05:02.26
WE HAVE TAKEN TIME TO INVITE
SOME OF THOSE PEOPLE WITH WHOM I
00:05:02.26\00:05:07.93
HAVE PERSONALLY TALKED.
00:05:07.93\00:05:09.73
I'VE PRAYED WITH, ESPECIALLY TWO
WOMEN WHO LOST THEIR HUSBANDS IN
00:05:09.73\00:05:15.20
FRONT OF THEM IN THE
PERSECUTION IN THE STATE OF--
00:05:15.20\00:05:20.73
AND WE HAVE BROUGHT
ABOUT 40 OF THOSE CHILDREN.
00:05:20.73\00:05:24.83
WE HAVE OPENED A BOARDING SCHOOL
RIGHT NEXT TO THE CONFERENCE
00:05:24.83\00:05:28.30
WHERE I'M WORKING AND I HAVE
THE PRIVILEGE OF SEEING THEM
00:05:28.30\00:05:31.90
REGULARLY AND TALKING TO THEM.
00:05:31.90\00:05:33.83
>> WE WANT YOU TO KNOW,
DR. JACOB, THAT BY THE GRACE
00:05:33.83\00:05:37.73
OF GOD, THIS CHURCH AND THIS
MINISTRY IS GONNA STAND WITH YOU
00:05:37.73\00:05:43.33
IN THE PREACHING OF
THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL,
00:05:43.33\00:05:46.30
TO THE 1.2 BILLION SOULS
IN THE GREAT LAND OF INDIA.
00:05:46.30\00:05:51.30
WE WANT TO THANK YOU FOR
COMING AND GOD BLESS YOU.
00:05:51.30\00:05:53.83
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
00:05:53.83\00:05:56.53
>> AND I WANT TO MAKE MY APPEAL
REQUESTING YOU TO CONTINUE TO
00:05:56.53\00:06:03.00
SUPPORT THIS MINISTRY FOR
THE THIRSTY SOULS OF INDIANS
00:06:03.00\00:06:07.93
IN INDIA.
00:06:07.93\00:06:08.80
THANK YOU.
00:06:08.80\00:06:09.60
>> GOD BLESS YOU.
00:06:09.60\00:06:10.36
THANK YOU, DOCTOR, THANK YOU.
00:06:10.36\00:06:14.60
>> TWO THOUSAND YEARS AGO, A
JEWISH MAN HATED BY THE JEWISH
00:06:18.40\00:06:25.80
POLITICAL AND RELIGIOUS LEADERS
WAS NAILED WITH ROMAN SPIKES
00:06:25.80\00:06:33.76
TO A WOODEN CROSS
BY ROMAN SOLDIERS.
00:06:33.76\00:06:40.23
NOW THE LAST WORDS OF A
GREAT MAN ARE ALWAYS IMPORTANT.
00:06:40.23\00:06:51.30
THE LAST WORDS OF THIS
JEWISH MAN HAVE A SIGNIFICANCE
00:06:51.30\00:07:00.20
BEYOND WORDS.
00:07:00.20\00:07:05.23
JUST BEFORE HE BOWED HIS
HEAD AND DIED, HE CRIED OUT
00:07:05.23\00:07:09.16
LIKE A TRUMPET,
00:07:09.16\00:07:12.66
"IT IS FINISHED."
00:07:15.70\00:07:19.86
LET ME WRITE IT ON THE
BLACKBOARD BECAUSE I CAN'T THINK
00:07:19.86\00:07:22.63
OF ANYTHING MORE IMPORTANT
THAN THESE WORDS OF THIS
00:07:22.63\00:07:24.83
DYING CHRIST.
00:07:24.83\00:07:27.36
HE SAID, "IT IS
FINISHED" OR "IT IS DONE."
00:07:28.73\00:07:39.83
HE SAID, "I HAVE DONE
WHAT I SET OUT TO DO."
00:07:39.83\00:07:45.26
IT WAS DETERMINED DEAD
AND DONE AND THUS HE SAID,
00:07:45.26\00:07:51.46
"IT IS FINISHED."
00:07:51.46\00:07:54.86
NOW, IT IS MY CONVICTION WITH
ALL MY SOUL, I SAY IT UNTO YOU
00:07:54.86\00:08:01.83
THAT AN UNDERSTANDING OF, AND
AN INSIGHT INTO THE MEANING OF
00:08:01.83\00:08:09.06
THOSE WORDS AND THE CRUCIFIXION
OF CHRIST WOULD CHANGE
00:08:09.06\00:08:15.03
THE WORLD FOREVER.
00:08:15.03\00:08:19.00
WOULD YOU REALLY LIKE TO
KNOW WHY THERE IS NO PEACE IN
00:08:19.00\00:08:23.66
THE MIDDLE EAST?
00:08:23.66\00:08:26.60
WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW WHY
THE JEWS ARE AT THE THROATS OF
00:08:26.60\00:08:29.86
THE ARABS AND THE ARABS ARE AT
THE THROATS OF THE JEWS AND WE
00:08:29.86\00:08:34.50
HAVE TERRORISM AND WHY WE
HAVE--THIS SEEMS TO BE ALMOST
00:08:34.50\00:08:40.60
IRRELEVANT WHEN YOU THINK
OF WORLD PROBLEMS, AND WE HAVE
00:08:40.60\00:08:43.76
UNHAPPY PEOPLE, PEOPLE WHOSE
LIVES ARE FILLED WITH FEAR AND
00:08:43.76\00:08:51.30
FRUSTRATION AND MEANINGLESSNESS
AND CHURCHES THE SAME.
00:08:51.30\00:09:00.16
IT IS BECAUSE WE HAVE SIGHT,
BUT WE DON'T HAVE INSIGHT.
00:09:00.16\00:09:07.56
WE'RE ALL A BIT LIKE THE
CAT THAT I SPOKE ABOUT BEFORE.
00:09:07.56\00:09:11.70
THE CAT THAT LOOKS AT THE KING,
BUT THE CAT THAT DOESN'T SEE
00:09:11.70\00:09:15.53
THE KING.
00:09:15.53\00:09:16.63
REMEMBER, REMEMBER,
MOST PEOPLE ARE LIKE THE CAT.
00:09:16.63\00:09:20.83
NOW, TODAY DURING THIS TALK, I'M
GOING TO INVITE UP A NUMBER OF
00:09:20.83\00:09:25.43
PEOPLE AND I'M GOING TO ASK THEM
ONE VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION.
00:09:25.43\00:09:31.03
AND THEY CAN'T GET IT WRONG
BECAUSE THEY'RE SIMPLY GOING TO
00:09:31.03\00:09:35.63
TELL ME WHAT THEY BELIEVE.
00:09:35.63\00:09:38.46
NOW THE FIRST PERSON IS
ALMA DIXON, WOULD YOU PLEASE
00:09:38.46\00:09:41.30
COME, ALMA?
00:09:41.30\00:09:43.16
AND I'M GOING TO ASK ALMA THIS
QUESTION AND NOBODY CAN GET THIS
00:09:43.16\00:09:48.40
QUESTION WRONG BECAUSE
THEY'RE GOING TO TELL US WHAT
00:09:48.40\00:09:50.70
THEY BELIEVE.
00:09:52.06\00:09:54.40
IN YOUR OWN HEART, ALMA, WHAT
DOES THE CRUCIFIXION OF JESUS
00:09:54.40\00:09:58.00
MEAN TO YOU?
00:09:58.00\00:09:59.80
>> IT MEANS THAT IF I WAS THE
ONLY ONE LEFT ON THIS EARTH AT
00:09:59.80\00:10:01.60
THE TIME HE CAME, HE WOULD HAVE
00:10:01.60\00:10:03.93
CAME AND DIED FOR ME
AND WHENEVER I'M TEMPTED,
00:10:05.06\00:10:07.60
I'LL ALWAYS SEE HIM ON
A CROSS DYING FOR MY SINS.
00:10:07.60\00:10:10.83
>> ALMA, THANK YOU,
THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
00:10:10.83\00:10:15.66
I WANT YOU TO NOTICE FIRSTLY
TODAY IN THIS TALK, WHICH IS
00:10:15.66\00:10:19.10
AN IMPORTANT TALK, THE METHOD
OF CRUCIFIXION, THE METHOD
00:10:19.10\00:10:24.26
OF EXECUTION.
00:10:24.26\00:10:27.03
THIS MAN, WHO WAS A STRONG YOUNG
MAN, I WANT YOU TO NOTICE HOW HE
00:10:27.03\00:10:31.53
WAS PUT TO DEATH.
00:10:31.53\00:10:33.66
TAKE YOUR BIBLES PLEASE
AND TURN TO JOHN 19:14-18.
00:10:33.66\00:10:40.40
JOHN 19:14-18, AND I WANT EVERY
PERSON HERE TO TURN TO THE TEXT.
00:10:40.40\00:10:46.36
JOHN 19:14 AND ONWARDS.
00:10:46.36\00:10:49.83
THE BIBLE SAYS, AND
I'M READING FROM THE N.I.V.
00:10:55.13\00:10:58.83
"IT WAS THE DAY OF PREPARATION
OF THE PASSOVER WEEK;
00:10:58.83\00:11:02.86
ABOUT THE SIXTH HOUR.
00:11:02.86\00:11:05.33
'HERE IS YOUR KING,'
PILATE SAID TO THE JEWS.
00:11:05.33\00:11:11.10
BUT THEY
SHOUTED, 'TAKE HIM AWAY!
00:11:11.10\00:11:13.73
TAKE HIM AWAY!
00:11:13.73\00:11:16.56
CRUCIFY HIM!' 'SHALL
I CRUCIFY YOUR KING?'
00:11:16.56\00:11:21.36
PILATE ASKED.
00:11:21.36\00:11:23.00
'WE HAVE NO KING BUT CAESAR,'
THE CHIEF PRIESTS ANSWERED.
00:11:23.00\00:11:29.80
FINALLY PILATE HANDED HIM
OVER TO THEM TO BE CRUCIFIED.
00:11:29.80\00:11:35.66
SO THE SOLDIERS
TOOK CHARGE OF JESUS.
00:11:35.66\00:11:39.26
CARRYING HIS OWN CROSS, HE WENT
OUT TO THE PLACE OF THE SKULL
00:11:39.26\00:11:43.13
(WHICH IN ARAMAIC
IS CALLED GOLGOTHA).
00:11:43.13\00:11:47.10
HERE THEY CRUCIFIED HIM, AND
WITH HIM TWO OTHERS, ONE ON EACH
00:11:47.10\00:11:52.06
SIDE AND JESUS IN THE MIDDLE."
00:11:52.06\00:11:56.80
I WANT TO READ TO YOU A
STATEMENT FROM THE GREAT
00:11:56.80\00:12:00.20
FARRAR OUT OF HIS
BOOK, "THE LIFE OF CHRIST."
00:12:02.23\00:12:06.23
I WANT YOU NOW TO USE A
SANCTIFIED IMAGINATION AND
00:12:06.23\00:12:11.63
STOP LOOKING AND START SEEING.
00:12:11.63\00:12:17.43
FARRAR SAYS, "FOR INDEED A DEATH
BY CRUCIFIXION SEEMS TO INCLUDE
00:12:17.43\00:12:23.00
ALL THAT PAIN AND DEATH CAN
HAVE OF HORRIBLE AND GHASTLY,
00:12:23.00\00:12:31.60
DIZZINESS, CRAMP, THIRST,
STARVATION, SLEEPLESSNESS,
00:12:31.60\00:12:42.00
TRAUMATIC FEVER, TETANUS,
PUBLICITY OF SHAME, LONG
00:12:42.00\00:12:50.20
CONTINUANCE OF TORMENT, HORROR
OF ANTICIPATION, MORTIFICATION
00:12:50.20\00:13:00.43
OF UNTENDERED WOUNDS.
00:13:00.43\00:13:04.23
ALL INTENSIFIED JUST UP TO
THE POINT AT WHICH THEY CAN BE
00:13:04.23\00:13:07.96
ENDURED AT ALL.
00:13:07.96\00:13:10.90
BUT ALL JUST STOPPING SHORT
OF THE POINT WHICH WOULD GIVE TO
00:13:10.90\00:13:14.00
THE SUFFERER, THE
RELIEF OF UNCONSCIOUSNESS.
00:13:14.00\00:13:19.36
THE UNNATURAL POSITION
MADE EVERY MOVEMENT PAINFUL.
00:13:19.36\00:13:26.50
THE LACERATED VEINS AND CRUSHED
TENDONS THROBBED WITH INCESSANT
00:13:26.50\00:13:31.96
ANGUISH.
00:13:31.96\00:13:34.53
THE WOUNDS INFLAMED BY
EXPOSURE GRADUALLY GANGRENED.
00:13:34.53\00:13:42.86
THE ARTERIES, ESPECIALLY OF THE
HEAD AND STOMACH, BECAME SWOLLEN
00:13:42.86\00:13:47.50
AND OPPRESSED
WITH SURCHARGED BLOOD.
00:13:47.50\00:13:51.60
AND WHILE EACH VARIETY IN MISERY
WENT ON GRADUALLY INCREASING,
00:13:51.60\00:13:57.63
THERE WERE ADDED TO THEM THE
INTOLERABLE PANG OF A BURNING
00:13:57.63\00:14:03.33
AND A RAGING THIRST.
00:14:03.33\00:14:07.33
AND ALL PHYSICAL COMPLICATIONS
CAUSED AN INTERNAL EXCITEMENT
00:14:07.33\00:14:12.86
AND ANXIETY WHICH MADE
THE PROSPECT OF DEATH ITSELF.
00:14:12.86\00:14:18.63
OF DEATH.
00:14:18.63\00:14:21.23
THE AWFUL UNKNOWN ENEMY AT WHOSE
APPROACHED MAN USUALLY SHADOWS
00:14:21.23\00:14:26.60
MOST BEAR THE ASPECT OF A
DELICIOUS AND EXQUISITE RELEASE.
00:14:26.60\00:14:38.00
THUS, THE METHOD OF
TORMENT AND EXECUTION."
00:14:38.00\00:14:44.23
HE WAS STRIPPED NAKED, BADLY
BRUISED, LACERATED, SUSPENDED
00:14:44.23\00:14:52.06
BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH.
00:14:52.06\00:14:58.13
REMEMBER, THE CAT.
00:14:58.13\00:15:02.23
THE CAT LOOKS AT THE KING, BUT
THE CAT DOESN'T SEE THE KING.
00:15:02.23\00:15:09.70
PAUL NADLER, WOULD
YOU PLEASE COME FORWARD?
00:15:09.70\00:15:13.50
I'M GOING TO ASK
PAUL A SIMILAR QUESTION.
00:15:13.50\00:15:18.63
AND, PAUL, WE'RE GLAD
TODAY THAT YOU'RE HERE WITH US.
00:15:18.63\00:15:20.00
I HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF
00:15:20.00\00:15:22.23
BAPTIZING PAUL.
00:15:23.13\00:15:24.63
PAUL, WHAT DOES THE
CRUCIFIXION OF THIS JEWISH JESUS
00:15:24.63\00:15:30.30
MEAN TO YOU?
00:15:30.30\00:15:32.56
>> WELL, OF COURSE IT MEANS
ETERNAL LIFE FOR ME BECAUSE
00:15:32.56\00:15:35.36
HE TOOK WHAT I DESERVE.
00:15:35.36\00:15:37.90
BUT THE MOST IMPRESSIVE THING
00:15:35.36\00:15:37.90
THAT CRUCIFIXION MEANS TO ME
IS THAT HE SAID, "FORGIVE THEM,
00:15:39.26\00:15:43.20
FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO."
00:15:43.20\00:15:45.13
>> GOD BLESS YOU, PAUL.
00:15:45.13\00:15:46.40
THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
00:15:46.40\00:15:49.36
WOULD YOU PLEASE NOW,
NOTICE WITH ME THE IDENTITY OF
00:15:49.36\00:15:55.13
THE CONDEMNED MAN.
00:15:55.13\00:15:58.06
THIS MAN WHO WAS BEING
TORTURED WAS A JEWISH MAN.
00:15:58.06\00:16:01.46
HE WAS ABOUT 30 YEARS OF
AGE IN THE PRIME OF HEALTH
00:16:04.43\00:16:10.90
AND STRENGTH.
00:16:10.90\00:16:12.50
MOST OF HIS LIFE, HE
HAD BEEN A CARPENTER.
00:16:12.50\00:16:20.43
IT'S VERY HARD FOR GOD, MY
FRIEND, TO HELP A LAZY PERSON.
00:16:20.43\00:16:30.43
AND SO WHEN OUR LORD CAME, HE
CAME TO SHOW US THE VERY VALUE
00:16:30.43\00:16:35.56
OF HARD, MANUAL WORK.
00:16:35.56\00:16:39.83
HE WAS ACCUSTOMED
TO HARD PHYSICAL WORK.
00:16:39.83\00:16:42.36
FOR 3 1/2 YEARS, HE WAS A
PREACHER, TEACHER AND HEALER.
00:16:42.36\00:16:49.36
AND IN THE EYES OF THE WORLD
AND THE CHURCH, THE RELIGIOUS
00:16:49.36\00:16:53.83
CHURCH, THE BIG
CHURCH, THE JEWISH CHURCH,
00:16:53.83\00:16:58.76
HE WAS A DANGEROUS MAN.
00:16:58.76\00:17:02.50
HE WAS A DANGEROUS MAN
BECAUSE HE WAS A THREAT TO
00:17:02.50\00:17:06.76
THE ESTABLISHMENT.
00:17:06.76\00:17:09.56
WOULD YOU PLEASE COME OVER
TO JOHN 11:47-50 AND NOTICE
00:17:09.56\00:17:15.93
THE INSPIRED WORDS.
00:17:15.93\00:17:18.56
AND PLEASE, NOTICE IT IN
THE HOLY WORD OF GOD AS WE
00:17:18.56\00:17:23.56
CONSIDER THE WORDS
TODAY, "IT IS FINISHED."
00:17:23.56\00:17:27.23
JOHN 11:47 AND ONWARDS.
00:17:27.23\00:17:30.06
"THEN THE CHIEF PRIESTS AND
THE PHARISEES CALLED A MEETING
00:17:30.06\00:17:33.16
OF THE SANHEDRIN."
00:17:33.16\00:17:35.46
THAT WAS A BIG COMMITTEE.
00:17:35.46\00:17:39.26
"'WHAT ARE WE
ACCOMPLISHING?' THEY ASKED.
00:17:39.26\00:17:41.43
'HERE IS THIS MAN PERFORMING
MANY MIRACULOUS SIGNS.
00:17:41.43\00:17:44.96
IF WE LET HIM GO ON LIKE THIS,
EVERYONE WILL BELIEVE IN HIM,
00:17:44.96\00:17:48.03
AND THEN THE ROMANS WILL COME
AND TAKE AWAY BOTH OUR PLACE
00:17:48.03\00:17:51.26
AND OUR NATION.'
THEN ONE OF THEM, NAMED
00:17:51.26\00:17:55.06
CAIAPHAS, WHO WAS HIGH PRIEST
THAT YEAR, SPOKE UP, 'YOU KNOW
00:17:55.06\00:17:59.20
NOTHING AT ALL!
00:17:59.20\00:18:01.60
YOU DO NOT REALIZE THAT IT IS
BETTER FOR YOU THAT ONE MAN DIE
00:18:01.60\00:18:05.60
FOR THE PEOPLE THAN THAT
THE WHOLE NATION PERISH."
00:18:05.60\00:18:10.63
SO IT'S BETTER TO GET RID OF
HIM SO THE INSTITUTION COULD BE
00:18:10.63\00:18:12.90
PRESERVED.
00:18:14.66\00:18:16.33
I'M GOING TO READ TO YOU FROM
DR. ARTHUR BIETZ WHO PREACHED
00:18:16.33\00:18:20.90
A GREAT SERMON THAT WAS
RECORDED IN THE BOOK CALLED,
00:18:20.90\00:18:25.26
"WHEN GOD MEETS MEN."
00:18:25.26\00:18:28.30
THAT IS A FAMOUS NAME
IN THIS PART OF THE WORLD.
00:18:28.30\00:18:32.83
HE WAS THE PASTOR OF ONE OF THE
CHURCHES OVER THERE IN GLENDALE,
00:18:32.83\00:18:37.90
DR. BIETZ.
00:18:37.90\00:18:40.50
DR. BIETZ SAID, "IT WAS
RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONALISM
00:18:40.50\00:18:47.20
THAT CRUCIFIED CHRIST.
00:18:47.20\00:18:50.20
IT WAS RELIGIOUS
INSTITUTIONALISM VERSUS
00:18:50.20\00:18:55.16
OUR PERSONAL CHRIST.
00:18:55.16\00:18:58.23
IT WAS, IN EFFECT,
ORGANIZATIONAL RELIGIONISM
00:18:58.23\00:19:02.80
VERSUS THE GOSPEL.
00:19:02.80\00:19:07.90
HERE IS THE AGE-OLD
TENDENCY TOWARDS IDOLATRY.
00:19:07.90\00:19:13.46
FOR MAN IS BASICALLY RELIGIOUS
AND WISHES TO MAKE HIMSELF
00:19:13.46\00:19:18.33
SECURE WITHIN RELIGIOUS
INSTITUTIONS AND THEREFORE,
00:19:18.33\00:19:26.76
HIDES HIMSELF FROM
THE VERY PRESENCE OF GOD."
00:19:26.76\00:19:31.23
CAIAPHAS THOUGHT HE MUST SAVE
THE CHURCH, THEREFORE CHRIST
00:19:31.23\00:19:37.10
MUST DIE, BUT CHRIST
HAD COME TO SAVE THE CHURCH.
00:19:37.10\00:19:43.03
WHERE WOULD WE HAVE STOOD
HAD WE BEEN THERE THAT DAY?
00:19:43.03\00:19:47.03
I LOOK YOU IN THE EYE AND ASK
YOU, DR. BIETZ' QUESTION, WHERE
00:19:47.03\00:19:53.20
WOULD WE HAVE STOOD
HAD WE BEEN THERE THAT DAY?
00:19:53.20\00:19:56.60
THE ISSUE BEFORE CAIAPHAS
IS EVERLASTINGLY PRESENT.
00:19:56.60\00:20:01.60
WE HAVE TO CHOOSE CONTINUALLY
BETWEEN TRADITION AND SCRIPTURE,
00:20:01.60\00:20:06.90
BETWEEN THE INSTITUTION AND
THE INDIVIDUAL, BETWEEN WHAT
00:20:06.90\00:20:13.26
IS POPULAR AND
ACCEPTED AND WHAT IS TRUE.
00:20:13.26\00:20:19.66
AND SO JESUS WAS CONSIDERED
BY THE INSTITUTION TO BE
00:20:19.66\00:20:24.40
A DANGEROUS MAN.
00:20:24.40\00:20:26.26
WHO WAS THIS MAN?
00:20:26.26\00:20:27.66
A THREAT TO THE STATUS QUO
AND RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONALISM,
00:20:27.66\00:20:32.56
BUT HE WAS MORE THAN A MAN.
00:20:32.56\00:20:35.53
PLEASE COME TO JOHN 1.
00:20:32.56\00:20:35.53
JOHN 1 AND WE'LL
PICK OUT SOME VERSES HERE.
00:20:38.10\00:20:40.93
JOHN 1:1-14, BUT I WILL
PICK OUT SOME OF THE GEMS.
00:20:40.93\00:20:46.90
"IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD,"
THAT MEANS CHRIST, "AND THE WORD
00:20:46.90\00:20:50.83
WAS WITH GOD, AND
THE WORD WAS GOD."
00:20:50.83\00:20:53.93
HE WAS OF THE VERY SAME ESSENCE
AND NATURE OF GOD THE FATHER.
00:20:53.93\00:20:59.70
HE WAS WITH GOD
IN THE BEGINNING.
00:20:59.70\00:21:02.33
THROUGH HIM ALL
THINGS WERE MADE.
00:21:02.33\00:21:04.76
WITHOUT HIM, NOTHING
WAS MADE THAT HAS BEEN MADE.
00:21:04.76\00:21:09.56
IN HIM, WAS LIFE AND THAT
LIFE WAS THE LIGHT OF MAN.
00:21:09.56\00:21:14.10
THE LIGHT SHINES IN THE
DARKNESS, BUT THE DARKNESS
00:21:14.10\00:21:17.30
HAS NOT UNDERSTOOD IT.
00:21:17.30\00:21:19.63
REMEMBER, THE CAT.
00:21:19.63\00:21:23.30
THE CAT THAT LOOKS,
BUT THE CAT DOES NOT SEE.
00:21:23.30\00:21:29.33
VERSE 10, HE WAS IN THE WORLD
AND THOUGH THE WORLD WAS MADE
00:21:29.33\00:21:32.36
THROUGH HIM, THE
WORLD DID NOT RECOGNIZE HIM.
00:21:32.36\00:21:36.16
VERSE 14, THE WORD BECAME FLESH
AND MADE HIS DWELLING AMONG US.
00:21:36.16\00:21:41.93
THINK OF IT, MY FRIEND, AND SEE
TODAY, HANGING ON THE CROSS WAS
00:21:41.93\00:21:45.03
THE LORD GOD OF THE UNIVERSE,
THE OLD TESTAMENT EL SHADDAI,
00:21:50.36\00:21:57.00
THE MIGHTY ONE.
00:21:57.00\00:21:58.93
YAHWEH ELOHIM, THE LORD GOD.
00:21:58.93\00:22:03.66
THE SELF-EXISTENT ONE WHO
BY THE BREATH OF HIS MOUTH,
00:22:03.66\00:22:06.93
SPOKE THE STARS INTO EXISTENCE.
00:22:06.93\00:22:11.83
WHO IS THIS MAN?
00:22:11.83\00:22:13.56
I QUOTE.
00:22:13.56\00:22:15.03
HE IS JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE
SON OF GOD, THE SECOND PERSON
00:22:15.03\00:22:21.03
OF THE TRINITY, THE ALMIGHTY
AND THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA.
00:22:21.03\00:22:27.66
SCRIPTURE GIVES HIM OVER 200
TITLES AND EVERY ONE SUFFICIENT
00:22:27.66\00:22:32.66
TO GIVE US MEDITATION DAY AFTER
DAY AND YIELDING INSIGHT, GLORY,
00:22:32.66\00:22:40.10
WISDOM AND HOPE.
00:22:40.10\00:22:42.06
WHO IS THIS MAN?
00:22:42.06\00:22:46.00
HE IS OUR SAVIOR.
00:22:46.00\00:22:49.23
SUSAN PIRAINO,
WOULD YOU PLEASE COME?
00:22:49.23\00:22:53.73
SUSAN WORKS WITH US IN THE
CARTER REPORT MINISTRY AND WE
00:22:53.73\00:22:59.03
APPRECIATE HER VERY MUCH.
00:22:59.03\00:23:01.03
SUSAN, I HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF
00:22:59.03\00:23:01.03
BAPTIZING YOU ALSO.
00:23:02.96\00:23:07.10
WHAT DOES THE CRUCIFIXION
OF JESUS MEAN TO SUSAN PIRAINO?
00:23:07.10\00:23:13.16
>> IT MEANS THAT THE BARRIERS
BETWEEN GOD AND US HAVE BEEN
00:23:13.16\00:23:15.23
BROKEN, THAT I CAN COME DIRECTLY
00:23:15.23\00:23:17.63
TO THE FATHER AND THAT SALVATION
IS A GIFT THAT I DON'T HAVE TO
00:23:19.30\00:23:23.76
WORK TO EARN IT.
00:23:23.76\00:23:25.30
IT'S A GIFT AND FOR THAT, I
AM HOPEFUL AND I'M FULL OF LOVE
00:23:25.30\00:23:29.73
AND GRATITUDE AND JUST SO GLAD
AND EXCITED THAT JESUS WAS ABLE
00:23:29.73\00:23:35.40
TO DO THAT FOR ME.
00:23:35.40\00:23:36.93
>> THANK YOU, SUSAN.
00:23:36.93\00:23:37.83
GOD BLESS YOU, THANK YOU.
00:23:37.83\00:23:40.33
WHO WAS THIS MAN?
00:23:40.33\00:23:42.06
WHO WAS THIS MAN?
00:23:42.06\00:23:43.53
NOW, I WANT YOU TO
NOTICE THE PECULIAR PLACE.
00:23:43.53\00:23:46.90
I USED THE TERM PECULIAR AS
IT IS UNDERSTOOD TO MEAN UNIQUE,
00:23:46.90\00:23:54.20
SPECIAL, A PECULIAR PLACE.
00:23:54.20\00:24:00.23
LISTEN TO THIS, THIS
IS SOMETHING YOU PROBABLY
00:24:00.23\00:24:02.46
DON'T KNOW.
00:24:02.46\00:24:03.83
JESUS WAS CRUCIFIED ON THE SPOT,
WHICH IS CALLED MOUNT MORIAH.
00:24:03.83\00:24:10.93
DID YOU KNOW THIS?
00:24:10.93\00:24:12.96
MOUNT MORIAH.
00:24:12.96\00:24:16.23
DOES THAT GET
THE MOLECULES MOVING?
00:24:16.23\00:24:20.30
MOUNT MORIAH.
00:24:20.30\00:24:23.86
REMEMBER THE STORY, ABRAHAM HAD
HAD A SON AND THAT SON WAS BORN,
00:24:23.86\00:24:29.53
NOT OF A VIRGIN BIRTH,
NO, BUT THAT SON WAS BORN OF
00:24:29.53\00:24:35.10
A MIRACULOUS BIRTH.
00:24:35.10\00:24:38.23
THEN WHEN THE BOY WAS GROWN UP,
GOD SAID TO HIM, "TAKE NOW YOUR
00:24:38.23\00:24:41.70
SON, THE SON WHOM YOU LOVE AND
OFFER HIM UP AS A SACRIFICE."
00:24:41.70\00:24:46.63
HOW LONG DOES THE JOURNEY TAKE?
00:24:46.63\00:24:49.60
THREE DAYS, THREE DAYS
OF HELL FOR THE FATHER.
00:24:49.60\00:24:54.66
THINK IT THROUGH.
00:24:54.66\00:24:56.83
THREE DAYS OF
HELL FOR THE FATHER.
00:24:56.83\00:25:00.70
AND THEN THE FATHER PUTS
HIM ON THE ALTAR AND LIFTS UP
00:25:00.70\00:25:04.93
THE KNIFE.
00:25:04.93\00:25:07.76
AND THE FATHER SAYS, IN HEAVEN,
THE FATHER IN HEAVEN SAYS,
00:25:07.76\00:25:13.26
"HOLD."
00:25:13.26\00:25:15.93
HE LOOKS AROUND AND THERE'S
A RAM CAUGHT IN A THICKET
00:25:15.93\00:25:20.83
OF THORNS.
00:25:20.83\00:25:25.83
TWO THOUSAND YEARS LATER
ON THE VERY IDENTICAL SPOT,
00:25:25.83\00:25:32.60
CALVARY IS MOUNT MORIAH.
00:25:32.60\00:25:35.80
DID YOU KNOW?
00:25:35.80\00:25:39.13
FOR 3 DAYS, THE FATHER ENDURES
THE TORMENT OF SEPARATION AND
00:25:39.13\00:25:46.13
THERE THE LAMB OF GOD
IS CROWNED WITH THE THORNS.
00:25:46.13\00:25:56.53
CAUGHT IN A
THICKET, THE VERY PLACE.
00:25:56.53\00:26:01.70
PLEASE, JUST LETS
THINK ABOUT THIS NOW.
00:26:01.70\00:26:05.70
IN SOME CHURCHES, YOU CHECK
YOUR BRAINS IN AT THE DOOR.
00:26:05.70\00:26:09.83
WE DON'T DO THAT IN THIS CHURCH.
00:26:09.83\00:26:12.33
THIS CHURCH DOES NOT HAVE A
PHILOSOPHY WHEREBY PEOPLE ARE
00:26:12.33\00:26:16.16
ENCOURAGED TO GIVE UP THINKING.
00:26:16.16\00:26:19.20
WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO THINK
AND TO THINK FOR YOURSELVES.
00:26:19.20\00:26:25.13
THINK ABOUT THIS, THERE
HAVE BEEN MILLIONS OF MARTYRS,
00:26:25.13\00:26:32.13
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF MARTYRS
IN RUSSIA ALONE, MAYBE MILLIONS.
00:26:32.13\00:26:38.76
WHAT MAKES THE DEATH OF
THIS JEW SO DIFFERENT AND SO
00:26:38.76\00:26:45.56
IMMENSELY IMPORTANT?
00:26:45.56\00:26:50.13
LET ME PUT THE
QUESTION TO YOU AGAIN.
00:26:50.13\00:26:54.90
WHAT MAKES THE DEATH OF JESUS
SO DIFFERENT AND SO IMMENSELY
00:26:54.90\00:27:02.63
IMPORTANT?
00:27:02.63\00:27:04.36
PLEASE TAKE YOUR BIBLE AND TURN
OVER HERE TO MATTHEW 27:45-46.
00:27:04.36\00:27:11.83
MATTHEW 27:45-46.
00:27:11.83\00:27:20.56
WHAT MAKES HIS DEATH SO
DIFFERENT TO ALL THE MARTYRS?
00:27:20.56\00:27:23.76
THERE'VE BEEN MILLIONS
00:27:23.76\00:27:26.43
OF MARTYRS.
00:27:27.50\00:27:28.86
MATTHEW 27:45-46.
00:27:28.86\00:27:33.96
ARE YOU READY?
00:27:33.96\00:27:36.23
FROM THE SIXTH
HOUR, THAT'S NOONTIME.
00:27:36.23\00:27:39.93
"FROM THE SIXTH HOUR
UNTIL THE NINTH HOUR," THREE IN
00:27:39.93\00:27:42.86
THE AFTERNOON, "DARKNESS
CAME OVER ALL THE LAND.
00:27:42.86\00:27:47.36
ABOUT THE NINTH HOUR
JESUS CRIED OUT IN A LOUD VOICE,
00:27:47.36\00:27:51.03
'ELOI, ELOI, LEMA SABACHTHANI?'
WHICH MEANS 'MY GOD, MY GOD,
00:27:51.03\00:27:58.73
WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?'" I
PUT IT TO YOU TODAY, I ASK YOU
00:27:58.73\00:28:01.30
THIS QUESTION, IS THERE A PERSON
00:28:01.30\00:28:04.06
HERE WHO WANTS
TO DIE LIKE JESUS?
00:28:06.23\00:28:09.76
WHEN I THINK OF SOME GREAT
MARTYRS AND SOME GREAT SAINTS,
00:28:09.76\00:28:15.30
THERE ARISES IN MY HEART,
I WOULD LOVE TO DIE THE DEATH
00:28:15.30\00:28:19.13
OF A TRUE MARTYR.
00:28:19.13\00:28:21.53
COULD THERE BE ANYTHING BETTER
THAN TO DIE LIKE SAINT PAUL,
00:28:21.53\00:28:27.86
SAINT PETER?
00:28:27.86\00:28:29.60
OH, DEAR, CRUCIFIED UPSIDE DOWN.
00:28:29.60\00:28:33.80
BUT WHO WANTS TO
DIE CRYING OUT TO GOD?
00:28:33.80\00:28:41.30
MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY
HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?
00:28:41.30\00:28:44.63
I HOPE THAT WHEN I DIE, I WILL
FEEL THE PRESENCE OF GOD AND I
00:28:44.63\00:28:51.00
WILL SAY, THANK YOU, MY FATHER.
00:28:51.00\00:28:54.23
YOU ARE WITH ME.
00:28:54.23\00:28:56.83
I THANK YOU FOR YOUR LOVE.
00:28:56.83\00:28:59.13
I THANK YOU THAT I'M
GOING TO BE IN THE RESURRECTION.
00:28:59.13\00:29:04.96
I THANK YOU THAT I'M SAVED.
00:29:04.96\00:29:07.16
BUT HERE IS A MAN IN TREMENDOUS
ANGUISH AND HE'S CRYING OUT,
00:29:07.16\00:29:12.83
"MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY
HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?"
00:29:12.83\00:29:20.20
THE CRUCIFIXION EVENT STARTED
IN THE GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE.
00:29:20.20\00:29:26.36
LET ME TELL YOU SOME THINGS.
00:29:26.36\00:29:27.83
WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT THIS.
00:29:27.83\00:29:29.26
REMEMBER FIRSTLY, OR
AGAIN REMEMBER THE CAT.
00:29:29.26\00:29:34.53
THE CAT LOOKS AT THE KING,
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE IN THE WORLD,
00:29:34.53\00:29:39.50
MULTITUDES IN THE CHURCH AND
THEY LOOK, BUT THEY DON'T SEE.
00:29:39.50\00:29:47.90
JESUS SAID TO THE RELIGIOUS
PEOPLE OF HIS DAY, "YOU HAVE
00:29:47.90\00:29:51.36
EYES, BUT YOU DON'T SEE.
00:29:51.36\00:29:53.80
AND YOU'VE GOT
EARS, BUT YOU DON'T HEAR."
00:29:53.80\00:29:56.33
AND HE WAS TALKING TO THE MOST
RELIGIOUS PEOPLE ON THE FACE
00:29:56.33\00:29:59.60
OF THE PLANET.
00:29:59.60\00:30:01.10
CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS?
00:30:01.10\00:30:02.40
THE MOST RELIGIOUS, THE
MOST PIOUS PEOPLE, HE SAID, "YOU
00:30:02.40\00:30:05.63
LOOK, YOU DON'T SEE.
00:30:05.63\00:30:07.40
YOU HEAR--YOU
LISTEN, BUT YOU DON'T HEAR."
00:30:07.40\00:30:11.63
THIS GREAT CRUCIFIXION EVENT
STARTED IN A GARDEN, BUT THEN
00:30:11.63\00:30:17.23
DON'T YOU KNOW IT ALL STARTED
IN A GARDEN, THE GARDEN OF EDEN?
00:30:17.23\00:30:24.76
AND SIN CAME INTO THE GARDEN OF
EDEN AND BECAUSE SIN CAME INTO
00:30:24.76\00:30:29.46
THE GARDEN OF EDEN, GOD
THE RIGHTEOUS JUDGE SAID TO OUR
00:30:29.46\00:30:33.06
FIRST PARENTS, CURSED IS
THE GROUND BECAUSE OF YOU.
00:30:33.06\00:30:38.50
IT WAS A CURSE.
00:30:38.50\00:30:40.30
THORNS, DID YOU HEAR THAT?
00:30:40.30\00:30:42.96
WHAT'S GOING TO COME FORTH?
00:30:42.96\00:30:44.30
THORNS AND THISTLES
ARE GOING TO COME FORTH.
00:30:44.30\00:30:48.53
IN THE WHAT?
00:30:48.53\00:30:51.13
THE SWEAT OF YOUR BROW,
YOU'RE GOING TO EAT BREAD.
00:30:51.13\00:30:56.43
HE SAID TO THE WOMAN,
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE SORROW.
00:30:56.43\00:31:00.86
YOU'RE ALL, THE HUMAN
RACE IS GONNA HAVE SORROW.
00:31:00.86\00:31:03.96
BUT HE SAID TO THE
WOMAN, "YOU'RE GONNA BRING FORTH
00:31:03.96\00:31:06.33
CHILDREN WITH SORROW, AND
YOU'RE GONNA BE SEPARATED."
00:31:06.33\00:31:13.80
AND THEY WERE DRIVEN OUT OF THE
GARDEN AND THEY WERE DRIVEN OUT
00:31:13.80\00:31:18.23
WITH A SWORD.
00:31:18.23\00:31:20.60
I WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT THAT.
00:31:20.60\00:31:23.56
THAT WAS IN THE GARDEN.
00:31:23.56\00:31:25.83
THE BIBLE TELLS ME, MY FRIEND,
THAT THERE IS ANOTHER GARDEN.
00:31:25.83\00:31:31.70
WE ARE LOST IN A GARDEN
AND THE BIBLE SAYS, WE ARE
00:31:31.70\00:31:35.63
REDEEMED IN A GARDEN.
00:31:35.63\00:31:38.23
AND DID YOU KNOW THIS, THE
BIBLE SAYS THAT IN THE GARDEN,
00:31:38.23\00:31:44.26
THERE CAME THE CURSE OF SIN.
00:31:44.26\00:31:49.96
AND BECAUSE OF SIN, THE CURSE
CAME UPON HIM WHO KNEW NO SIN.
00:31:49.96\00:31:58.50
AND BECAUSE OF THE CURSE, THERE
WAS SWEAT AND THERE WAS PAIN.
00:31:58.50\00:32:08.70
AND A LITTLE LATER ON BEFORE
HE GOT TO THE CROSS, THERE WERE
00:32:08.70\00:32:12.50
THORNS.
00:32:12.50\00:32:17.43
AND DON'T YOU REMEMBER IN THE
GARDEN, THAT THE SOLDIERS CAME
00:32:17.43\00:32:20.70
TO GET HIM AND THE
SOLDIERS CARRIED SWORDS.
00:32:20.70\00:32:25.93
I WANT YOU TO COME OVER
HERE TO THE BOOK OF GALATIANS,
00:32:25.93\00:32:28.93
IF YOU WILL.
00:32:28.93\00:32:30.56
GALATIANS 3:13.
00:32:30.56\00:32:35.10
GALATIANS THE THIRD CHAPTER
AND YOU OUGHT TO READ THIS BOOK
00:32:35.10\00:32:39.73
OVER AND OVER
AGAIN UNTIL YOU CAN SEE.
00:32:39.73\00:32:41.96
GALATIANS 3:13.
00:32:41.96\00:32:44.20
GALATIANS 3:13, THE BIBLE
SAYS, "CHRIST REDEEMED US FROM
00:32:49.53\00:32:55.73
THE CURSE OF THE LAW BY BECOMING
A CURSE FOR US," BY BECOMING
00:32:55.73\00:33:04.93
A CURSE FOR US, "FOR IT IS
WRITTEN: 'CURSED IS EVERYONE WHO
00:33:04.93\00:33:11.43
IS HUNG ON A TREE.'"
AND SO IN THIS GARDEN, HE
00:33:11.43\00:33:13.23
FEELS THE PANGS OF SEPARATION
00:33:13.23\00:33:16.66
BECAUSE THE BIBLE TELLS ME HIS
SOUL IS BEING SEPARATED FROM GOD
00:33:21.90\00:33:28.13
BECAUSE HE'S TAKEN THE CURSE.
00:33:28.13\00:33:30.93
HE'S TAKEN THE CURSE.
00:33:30.93\00:33:35.53
AND SOON HE'S GOING TO FEEL AND
ALREADY HE'S STARTING TO HAVE
00:33:35.53\00:33:39.90
THE CURSE OF THE SWEAT AND HE'S
SWEATING GREAT DROPS OF BLOOD.
00:33:39.90\00:33:46.50
WOULD YOU COME OVER HERE
TO THE BOOK OF ISAIAH 53:3?
00:33:46.50\00:33:51.06
THE GOSPEL PROPHET.
00:33:51.06\00:33:52.93
THIS IS ONE OF THE
GREATEST CHAPTERS IN THE BIBLE.
00:33:52.93\00:33:55.90
WE SHOULD READ IT,
COMMITMENT IT TO MEMORY.
00:33:55.90\00:33:58.60
ISAIAH 53:3.
00:33:58.60\00:34:03.46
LISTEN TO THESE WORDS.
00:34:03.46\00:34:05.40
THEY'RE ALMOST
TOO HARD TO BELIEVE.
00:34:05.40\00:34:08.33
ISAIAH 53:3.
00:34:08.33\00:34:10.46
THE BIBLE SAYS HE WAS DESPISED
AND REJECTED BY MAN, A MAN OF
00:34:10.46\00:34:16.40
SORROWS AND
FAMILIAR WITH SUFFERING.
00:34:16.40\00:34:22.56
I DISCOVERED A TRUTH ONLY A
FEW WEEKS AGO ON THIS SUBJECT.
00:34:22.56\00:34:29.50
IT NEVER DAWNED UPON ME BEFORE.
00:34:29.50\00:34:33.23
JESUS WAS INFINITE
IN HIS DIVINE NATURE.
00:34:33.23\00:34:40.76
AND SO WHEN HE WAS SUFFERING IN
THE GARDEN AND WHEN THEY FINALLY
00:34:40.76\00:34:44.63
NAILED HIM UP ON THE
TREE, HE SUFFERED AS GOD AND HE
00:34:44.63\00:34:51.93
SUFFERED AS MAN.
00:34:51.93\00:34:54.96
AND JESUS COULD SUFFER MORE IN
6 HOURS AS THE GOD MAN THAN THE
00:34:54.96\00:35:03.96
WHOLE OF THE HUMAN RACE COULD
SUFFER FOR BILLIONS OF YEARS
00:35:03.96\00:35:09.96
BECAUSE HIS NATURE,
AS GOD WAS INFINITE.
00:35:09.96\00:35:17.46
AND SO IN THE GARDEN AND ON
THE CROSS, THE CURSE THAT CAME
00:35:17.46\00:35:23.90
IN THE GARDEN OF
GETHSEMANE COMES UPON HIM.
00:35:23.90\00:35:29.90
THE AGONY IS SO GREAT
THAT HE CAN HARDLY BREATHE.
00:35:29.90\00:35:39.90
HE IS CHOKING AND IT'S NOT
JUST THE PAIN OF THE WOUNDS.
00:35:39.90\00:35:46.86
IT IS BECAUSE HE HAS
BECOME SIN FOR THE HUMAN RACE.
00:35:46.86\00:35:52.40
I WANT YOU TO
COME OVER TO THIS TEXT.
00:35:52.40\00:35:54.30
I WANT YOU TO COME TO A TEXT.
00:35:54.30\00:35:55.60
I WANT YOU TO COME TO
2 CORINTHIANS 5:14-21.
00:35:55.60\00:35:56.63
I WANT YOU TO SEE THIS
00:35:56.63\00:36:03.10
TEXT TODAY.
00:36:03.90\00:36:04.56
2 CORINTHIANS 5:14.
00:36:04.56\00:36:07.70
2 CORINTHIANS 5:14, "FOR
CHRIST'S LOVE COMPELS US,
00:36:07.70\00:36:15.70
BECAUSE WE ARE
CONVINCED THAT ONE DIED FOR ALL,
00:36:15.70\00:36:19.23
AND THEREFORE ALL DIED."
00:36:19.23\00:36:21.30
THINK ABOUT THIS, ALL DIED.
00:36:21.30\00:36:23.23
WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
00:36:23.23\00:36:24.60
AND THEN YOU COME DOWN TO
VERSE 21, "GOD MADE HIM WHO HAD
00:36:24.60\00:36:28.03
NO SIN TO BE SIN FOR US,
SO THAT IN HIM WE MIGHT BECOME
00:36:28.03\00:36:33.36
THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD."
00:36:33.36\00:36:35.90
CAN YOU NOW UNDERSTAND, MY
BELOVED FRIEND, WHY THIS STRONG
00:36:35.90\00:36:38.46
YOUNG MAN, WHO IS ALSO GOD AND
00:36:38.46\00:36:41.83
THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE
IS GASPING OUT THE WORDS,
00:36:44.76\00:36:49.00
"MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY
HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?"
00:36:49.00\00:36:54.46
BECAUSE HE IS UNDER THE CURSE.
00:36:54.46\00:36:58.10
I PREACHED A SERMON ONCE IN
AUSTRALIA AND I SAID CHRIST WAS
00:36:58.10\00:37:02.80
CURSED FOR US, AND ONE WONDERFUL
CHURCH MEMBER WHO WAS A PIOUS
00:37:02.80\00:37:07.30
PERSON CAME AND SAID,
"NEVER SAY THAT AGAIN."
00:37:07.30\00:37:11.66
I SAID BUT THE BIBLE.
00:37:11.66\00:37:13.00
HE SAID, "I DON'T--DON'T SAY IT.
00:37:13.00\00:37:15.16
IT'S OFFENSIVE TO US."
00:37:15.16\00:37:18.00
AND SO WHEN I PREACHED AGAIN I
SAID CHRIST WAS PUNISHED FOR--HE
00:37:18.00\00:37:21.56
SAID, "DON'T SAY
CHRIST WAS PUNISHED."
00:37:21.56\00:37:25.00
I'M HERE TO TELL YOU TODAY ON
THE WORD OF GOD THAT CHRIST WAS
00:37:25.00\00:37:29.73
PUNISHED SO THAT I WILL NOT
BE PUNISHED AND HE WAS CURSED
00:37:29.73\00:37:34.20
SO THAT I WILL NOT BE CURSED.
00:37:34.20\00:37:40.46
I'M GOING TO READ YOU A
STATEMENT FROM AN OLD-FASHIONED
00:37:40.46\00:37:44.80
PREACHER WHO WAS CALLED IN HIS
DAY, THE PRINCE OF PREACHERS.
00:37:44.80\00:37:49.86
I WANT YOU TO
LISTEN TO THESE WORDS.
00:37:49.86\00:37:55.60
HE SAYS, "WHAT MUST BE THE
TERROR OF THE PUNISHMENT THAT
00:37:55.60\00:38:00.30
WILL FALL UPON THOSE MEN
WHO REJECT THE ATONING BLOOD?
00:38:00.30\00:38:05.53
THOSE MEN WHO WILL HAVE TO STAND
BEFORE GOD IN THEIR OWN PROPER
00:38:05.53\00:38:10.16
PERSON FOR THEIR SINS?"
00:38:10.16\00:38:12.60
NOW, I'M SAYING THIS
TO THE CONGREGATION TODAY.
00:38:12.60\00:38:16.36
THE PERSON WHO IS INDIFFERENT
TO CHRIST, THE PERSON WHO IS NOT
00:38:16.36\00:38:21.40
DEDICATED TO CHRIST, THE
PERSON WHO, IN HIS OWN HEART,
00:38:21.40\00:38:27.26
IS UNREGENERATE.
00:38:27.26\00:38:29.13
I'M SAYING IT TO THE
CONGREGATION OUT THERE IN
00:38:29.13\00:38:32.23
THE TELEVISION WORLD AND
YOU'RE SAYING, "SO WHAT?"
00:38:32.23\00:38:39.73
LISTEN TO WHAT THE
PRINCE-- A PREACHER SAID.
00:38:39.73\00:38:44.30
"I'LL TELL YOU, SIRS, WITH PAIN
IN MY HEART AS I TELL IT TO YOU
00:38:44.30\00:38:50.83
WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THOSE
OF YOU WHO REJECT MY LORD.
00:38:50.83\00:38:55.06
JESUS CHRIST, MY LORD AND MASTER
IS A SIGN AND A PROPHECY TO YOU
00:38:55.06\00:39:01.16
OF WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU.
00:39:01.16\00:39:04.16
A SIGN AND A PROPHECY.
00:39:04.16\00:39:06.56
NOT IN A GARDEN, BUT ON THAT BED
OF YOURS, YOU'LL BE SURPRISED
00:39:06.56\00:39:11.46
AND OVERTAKEN.
00:39:11.46\00:39:13.50
THE PAINS OF DEATH WILL GET HOLD
OF YOU WITH AN EXCEEDING SORROW
00:39:13.50\00:39:18.36
AND REMORSE FOR YOUR MISSPENT
LIFE AND FOR A REJECTED SAVIOR.
00:39:18.36\00:39:24.86
YOU WILL BE MADE VERY HEAVY.
00:39:24.86\00:39:29.40
DON'T THINK TODAY THIS IS
A MATTER THAT YOU CAN TAKE IT
00:39:29.40\00:39:34.53
OR LEAVE IT.
00:39:34.53\00:39:38.30
THEN WILL YOUR DARLING SIN YOUR
FAVORITE LUST LIKE ANOTHER JUDAS
00:39:38.30\00:39:43.10
BETRAY YOU WITH A KISS.
00:39:43.10\00:39:45.86
WHILE YET YOUR SIN LINGERS
ON YOUR LIPS, YOU'LL BE SEIZED
00:39:45.86\00:39:50.60
AND TAKEN OFF.
00:39:50.60\00:39:52.20
YOU WILL APPEAR BEFORE
THE HIGHEST TRIBUNAL, NOT THAT
00:39:52.20\00:39:55.80
OF PILATE, BUT THE GREAT
JUDGMENT SEAT OF THE SON OF GOD
00:39:55.80\00:39:59.93
WHOM YOU DESPISED AND
REJECTED AND THEN WILL WITNESSES
00:39:59.93\00:40:05.40
COME AGAINST YOU.
00:40:05.40\00:40:07.56
NOT FALSE WITNESSES, BUT TRUE.
00:40:07.56\00:40:11.93
YOU WILL STAND SPEECHLESS EVEN
AS JESUS SAID NOT A WORD TO HIS
00:40:11.93\00:40:16.60
ACCUSERS.
00:40:16.60\00:40:19.30
THEN WILL CONSCIENCE IN DESPAIR
BUFFET YOU AS HE WAS BUFFETED.
00:40:19.30\00:40:24.30
YOU WILL BECOME A
MONUMENT OF MISERY.
00:40:24.30\00:40:29.63
SUCH A SPECTACLE OF CONTEMPT
THAT MEN WILL LOOK AND SAY,
00:40:29.63\00:40:34.23
'BEHOLD THE MAN.'"
THAT'S WHAT THEY SAID
00:40:34.23\00:40:38.70
TO JESUS.
00:40:38.70\00:40:40.96
"IT'LL BE SAID TO EVERY PERSON
WHO HAS SPURNED HIS GRACE,
00:40:40.96\00:40:46.63
BEHOLD THE MAN.
00:40:46.63\00:40:50.23
LOOK AT THE SUFFERING THAT HAS
COME TO HIM BECAUSE HE DESPISED
00:40:50.23\00:40:54.66
HIS GOD AND YOU
WILL BE CONDEMNED.
00:40:54.66\00:40:57.93
DEPART FROM ME, HE CURSED, SHALL
BE YOUR SENTENCE EVEN AS LET HIM
00:40:57.93\00:41:04.83
BE CRUCIFIED WAS
THE DOOM OF JESUS.
00:41:04.83\00:41:09.13
YOU WILL BE TAKEN BY
THE OFFICERS OF JUSTICE
00:41:09.13\00:41:12.13
TO YOUR DOOM.
00:41:12.13\00:41:14.06
LIKE THE SINNERS SUBSTITUTE,
YOU WILL CRY OUT, 'I THIRST.'
00:41:14.06\00:41:20.23
NOT A DROP OF
WATER WILL BE GIVEN YOU.
00:41:20.23\00:41:24.03
YOU WILL TASTE NOTHING
BUT THE GALL OF BITTERNESS.
00:41:24.03\00:41:28.40
YOU'LL BE EXECUTED PUBLICLY WITH
YOUR CRIMES WRITTEN OVER YOUR
00:41:28.40\00:41:32.06
HEAD THAT ALL MAY READ
AND UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE
00:41:32.06\00:41:35.46
JUSTLY CONDEMNED.
00:41:35.46\00:41:37.96
LET GETHSEMANE WARN YOU.
00:41:37.96\00:41:42.50
LET ITS GROANS, ITS TEARS,
ITS BLOODY SWEAT ADMONISH YOU.
00:41:42.50\00:41:49.50
REPENT OF SIN AND
TO BELIEVE IN JESUS.
00:41:49.50\00:41:54.40
AND SO, HE SAID, MY FRIEND, WHEN
YOU SEE OUR LORD SUFFERING IN
00:41:54.40\00:42:00.26
GETHSEMANE AND ON THE CROSS, SEE
IN HIM THE SYMBOL OF THOSE WHO
00:42:00.26\00:42:09.16
REJECT SO GREAT SALVATION.
00:42:09.16\00:42:12.40
BUT TODAY, HE BIDS YOU COME,
BELIEVE, RECEIVE FORGIVENESS
00:42:12.40\00:42:18.60
OF SINS.
00:42:18.60\00:42:20.40
IT'S A GIFT.
00:42:20.40\00:42:21.86
ENTER INTO LIFE
EVERLASTING THIS VERY MOMENT.
00:42:21.86\00:42:30.20
EITHER WE ACCEPT HIM AND
HIS DEATH FOR OUR SINS, OR ELSE
00:42:32.33\00:42:41.70
WE PAY OUR OWN
PUNISHMENT ON THE JUDGMENT DAY.
00:42:41.70\00:42:48.36
I'M PERFECTLY AWARE THAT EVEN IN
THIS CHURCH, THERE ARE PEOPLE ON
00:42:48.36\00:42:52.23
OCCASIONS WHO TELL JOKES AND WHO
SCOFF AND WHO WOULD EVEN TEXT
00:42:52.23\00:42:58.53
MESSAGES WHILE THEIR SOULS
ARE SLIPPING AWAY TO PERDITION.
00:42:58.53\00:43:06.36
REMEMBER HE WENT
THROUGH ALL OF THIS.
00:43:06.36\00:43:11.20
YOU KNOW IN THE GARDEN OF
EDEN, THERE WERE TWO TREES.
00:43:11.20\00:43:15.80
THINK ABOUT THIS.
00:43:15.80\00:43:17.63
THERE WAS THE TREE OF THE
KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL.
00:43:17.63\00:43:21.23
THERE WAS THE TREE OF LIFE.
00:43:21.23\00:43:23.86
THE CROSS HAS BECOME THE TREE OF
THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL.
00:43:23.86\00:43:30.23
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE CROSS
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YOUR LIFE,
00:43:30.23\00:43:33.80
YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT EVIL
REALLY IS AND WHAT RIGHTEOUSNESS
00:43:33.80\00:43:39.56
REALLY IS.
00:43:39.56\00:43:41.53
AND WHEN YOU BELIEVE IN CHRIST,
YOU EAT OF THE TREE OF LIFE SO
00:43:41.53\00:43:46.76
THAT YOU MAY LIVE FOREVER.
00:43:46.76\00:43:49.03
THEREFORE, BELIEVE TODAY.
00:43:49.03\00:43:52.80
HOW DARE WE INSULT OUR GOD.
00:43:52.80\00:43:58.46
STEVE SAUZA, WOULD
YOU PLEASE COME, STEVE?
00:43:58.46\00:44:02.23
STEVE IS A VERY DEAR
FRIEND, THE SENIOR ELDER OF THIS
00:44:02.23\00:44:07.03
GREAT CHURCH.
00:44:07.03\00:44:09.86
GLAD TO SEE YOU TODAY, STEVE.
00:44:07.03\00:44:09.86
STEVE, I ASK YOU THE PERTINENT
QUESTION FOR STEVE SAUZA, WHAT
00:44:11.66\00:44:17.60
DOES THE SUFFERING, WHAT DOES
THE CRUCIFIXION OF JESUS MEAN
00:44:17.60\00:44:21.46
TO YOU?
00:44:21.46\00:44:23.56
>> IT'S A RELIEF FOR ME TO KNOW
THAT THIS WORLD IS NOT ALL I
00:44:23.56\00:44:25.26
HAVE, BUT NOW I HAVE A HOME
00:44:25.26\00:44:27.40
IN PARADISE.
00:44:29.66\00:44:31.66
>> GOD BLESS YOU, STEVE.
00:44:31.66\00:44:33.90
WE'RE GLAD THAT OUR
PEOPLE IN THIS CHURCH UNDERSTAND
00:44:33.90\00:44:36.83
THE GOSPEL.
00:44:36.83\00:44:39.00
SO WE COME BACK TO THESE WORDS.
00:44:39.00\00:44:41.66
SO HERE IS OUR LORD.
00:44:41.66\00:44:44.23
HE'S HANGING ON THE CROSS.
00:44:44.23\00:44:49.46
HE'S GOING THROUGH THE
PANGS OF THE SECOND DEATH.
00:44:49.46\00:44:55.70
WHEN THE BIBLE SAYS CHRIST
BECAME SIN FOR US, IT DOESN'T
00:44:55.70\00:45:00.40
MEAN HE BECAME A SINNER.
00:45:00.40\00:45:02.00
HE WAS SINLESS.
00:45:02.00\00:45:03.36
BUT IT MEANS THAT EVERY SIN THAT
HAS EVER BEEN COMMITTED WAS LAID
00:45:03.36\00:45:08.03
ON HIM, YOURS AND MINE.
00:45:08.03\00:45:12.46
EVERY MEAN ACT, LYING, CHEATING.
00:45:12.46\00:45:19.86
YOU KNOW, THE WORST SIN
THERE IS IN ALL THE UNIVERSE?
00:45:19.86\00:45:23.60
SPIRITUAL PRIDE.
00:45:23.60\00:45:26.50
WHERE DO YOU FIND IT?
00:45:26.50\00:45:27.56
IN THE CHURCH.
00:45:27.56\00:45:29.56
IT'S NOT A SIN OF THE GENTILES.
00:45:29.56\00:45:31.06
IT'S THE MOST FILTHY,
THE MOST EVIL OF ALL SINS.
00:45:31.06\00:45:35.76
"I'M BETTER THAN
OTHERS, LOOK AT ME."
00:45:35.76\00:45:39.60
SPIRITUAL PRIDE
IT WAS LAID ON HIM.
00:45:39.60\00:45:43.96
ADULTERY, FORNICATION, EVERY SIN
THAT WE CAN SPEAK OF AND THOSE
00:45:43.96\00:45:49.93
SINS THAT WE CANNOT SPEAK OF.
00:45:49.93\00:45:52.13
EVERY SIN IN THE WHOLE OF THE
WORLD WAS TAKEN LIKE A FILTHY
00:45:52.13\00:45:57.63
GARMENT AND PUT UPON HIM AND HE
COULD NOT SEE HIS FATHER'S FACE.
00:45:57.63\00:46:07.46
SO WE COME TO THE
QUESTION, WHAT WAS FINISHED?
00:46:07.46\00:46:11.96
BECAUSE, NOT AS A WEAKLING, DID
YOU KNOW HE GAVE UP HIS LIFE?
00:46:11.96\00:46:19.86
HE SURRENDERED IT?
00:46:19.86\00:46:21.83
HE WAS A LIFE GIVER.
00:46:21.83\00:46:23.90
HE WAS THE SON OF
GOD, THE SON OF MAN.
00:46:23.90\00:46:27.50
YOU KNOW WHEN THEY TOOK HIM IN
THE GARDEN, THE FIRST THING THAT
00:46:27.50\00:46:30.00
HAPPENED, THEY CAME TO GET HIM.
00:46:30.00\00:46:33.83
"ARE YOU JESUS?"
00:46:33.83\00:46:35.06
HE SAID.
00:46:35.06\00:46:36.10
"YES, I AM HE."
00:46:36.10\00:46:37.36
WHAT DID THE SOLDIERS DO?
00:46:37.36\00:46:38.63
FELL, HUNDREDS OF THEM,
THEY FELL ON THE GROUND.
00:46:38.63\00:46:41.86
COWARDS, NO.
00:46:41.86\00:46:44.56
BECAUSE HE SHOWED THAT HE WAS
GOD AND ANYTHING HE WAS DOING
00:46:44.56\00:46:50.23
HERE OUT WAS DONE IN
A VOLUNTARY CAPACITY.
00:46:50.23\00:46:55.16
THEY COULD NOT HAVE
PUT HIM ON THE CROSS.
00:46:55.16\00:46:57.33
HE WENT THERE.
00:46:57.33\00:46:59.10
HE SURRENDERED TO THE CROSS.
00:46:59.10\00:47:01.53
I WANT YOU TO KNOW AS ONE
GREAT PREACHER SAID, IT WASN'T
00:47:01.53\00:47:06.30
CAIAPHAS WHO WAS
JUST SEEKING HIM.
00:47:06.30\00:47:09.13
IT WASN'T JUDAS, IT
WASN'T THE JEWISH NATION.
00:47:09.13\00:47:12.63
IT WASN'T ANY OF THOSE EVIL
PEOPLE, IT WAS THE LAW OF GOD
00:47:12.63\00:47:18.23
THAT CAME SEEKING HIM.
00:47:18.23\00:47:22.13
IT WAS THE LAW OF GOD
THAT CAME SEEKING HIM.
00:47:22.13\00:47:26.76
SO WHAT DOES HE
MEAN, IT IS FINISHED?
00:47:26.76\00:47:32.73
THE BLOOD
ATONEMENT WAS FINISHED.
00:47:32.73\00:47:35.30
HE MADE A BLOOD ATONEMENT,
COMPLETE SACRIFICIAL ATONEMENT.
00:47:35.30\00:47:40.53
LOOK AT HEBREWS 9:22.
00:47:40.53\00:47:43.86
THAT'S WHY WE DON'T BELIEVE IN
THAT FOOLISH DOCTRINE, THE MORAL
00:47:43.86\00:47:46.90
INFLUENCE THEORY THAT SAYS THAT
HE JUST DIED AS AN EXAMPLE, THAT
00:47:46.90\00:47:52.00
WE'RE NOT SAVED BY HIS BLOOD,
WE'RE SAVED BY HIS EXAMPLE ONLY,
00:47:52.00\00:47:55.66
THEY TELL US.
00:47:55.66\00:47:57.16
THE DOCTRINE IS VERY POPULAR
HERE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
00:47:57.16\00:47:58.70
IT IS A HERESY AND A LIE.
00:47:58.70\00:48:00.76
REMINDS ME OF THE CAT
LOOKING, BUT THEY'RE NOT SEEING.
00:48:05.76\00:48:12.50
HEBREWS 9:22, "IN FACT, THE LAW
REQUIRES THAT NEARLY EVERYTHING
00:48:12.50\00:48:16.80
BE CLEANSED WITH BLOOD,"
SAY IT WITH ME, "AND WITHOUT THE
00:48:16.80\00:48:20.03
SHEDDING OF BLOOD
THERE IS NO FORGIVENESS."
00:48:20.03\00:48:24.46
THE BLOOD
ATONEMENT WAS FINISHED.
00:48:24.46\00:48:27.13
THE DREADFUL PRICE FOR OUR
REBELLION WAS PAID IN FULL.
00:48:27.13\00:48:28.70
IT WAS FINISHED.
00:48:28.70\00:48:32.10
AND AFTER THE BLOOD, THE SWEAT,
THE AGONY, THE GREAT DARKNESS,
00:48:37.86\00:48:45.90
JESUS NOT WITH A WHIMPERING
VOICE, NOT AS A BEATEN MAN,
00:48:45.90\00:48:56.66
HE DIDN'T SAY,
"OH, I'VE FINISHED IT."
00:48:56.66\00:49:03.23
HE CRIED OUT IN A VOICE
THAT RANG AROUND THE UNIVERSE,
00:49:03.23\00:49:07.33
"IT IS FINISHED.
00:49:07.33\00:49:09.60
INTO YOUR HANDS I
COMMIT MY SPIRIT."
00:49:09.60\00:49:12.86
HE DIED AS A MIGHTY
CONQUEROR BECAUSE HE'D FOUGHT IT
00:49:12.86\00:49:24.66
AND HE'D WON IT.
00:49:24.66\00:49:28.33
GREG EBERHARDT IS A BUSINESSMAN,
A MEMBER OF OUR CHURCH.
00:49:28.33\00:49:32.96
A MEMBER OF THE CARTER
REPORT BOARD OF DIRECTORS.
00:49:32.96\00:49:36.20
GREG, WHAT DOES THE SUFFERING,
00:49:36.20\00:49:38.33
THE CRUCIFIXION OF
CHRIST MEAN TO GREG EBERHARDT?
00:49:42.43\00:49:45.90
>> TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION,
I HAVE TO THINK ABOUT WHAT LIFE
00:49:45.90\00:49:48.43
WOULD BE LIKE AND WHAT OUR
FUTURE WOULD BE LIKE HAD THE
00:49:48.43\00:49:51.83
CRUCIFIXION HAD NOT OCCURRED.
00:49:51.83\00:49:53.90
AS A FATHER OF TWO DAUGHTERS,
00:49:51.83\00:49:53.90
THERE ISN'T ANYTHING I WOULDN'T
GIVE FOR MY DAUGHTERS AND I'M
00:49:55.33\00:49:59.76
GRATEFUL THAT GOD GAVE HIS
SON, NOT ONLY FOR ME, BUT FOR MY
00:49:59.76\00:50:03.96
CHILDREN AND TO ME,
THE CRUCIFIXION MEANS
00:50:03.96\00:50:07.30
UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.
00:50:07.30\00:50:09.16
>> THANK YOU, GREG, THANK YOU.
00:50:09.16\00:50:12.36
AND NOW THE FINAL QUESTION.
00:50:12.36\00:50:16.13
WHAT HAPPENS TO A PERSON
WHEN WE JUST STOP LOOKING
00:50:16.13\00:50:20.16
AND START SEEING?
00:50:20.16\00:50:23.80
A LOT OF US HERE WATCHING THE
TELECAST, IN THE CHURCH, IN OUR
00:50:23.80\00:50:28.16
OWN CHURCH, EVERYWHERE, PEOPLE
ARE LOOKING, BUT THEY DON'T SEE.
00:50:28.16\00:50:34.26
AND IF THEY DON'T
SEE, THEY CAN'T BE SAVED.
00:50:34.26\00:50:38.40
THE HOLY SPIRIT COMES ON
OCCASIONS LIKE THIS AND HE TAKES
00:50:38.40\00:50:42.43
THE SCALES FROM MY
EYES THAT I MAY SEE.
00:50:42.43\00:50:47.10
WHEN WE SEE, WE SEE WHAT GOD IS
LIKE, HOW BRAVE HE IS, HOW GOOD,
00:50:47.10\00:50:56.90
HOW KIND AND HOW LOVING.
00:50:56.90\00:51:00.80
NEVER DOUBT HIS LOVE.
00:51:00.80\00:51:03.50
HE'S THE BEST.
00:51:03.50\00:51:06.60
AND WHEN WE STOP LOOKING AND
START SEEING, WE SEE OURSELVES
00:51:06.60\00:51:12.53
AND IT'S NOT ALWAYS--IT'S
NEVER A PRETTY SPECTACLE.
00:51:12.53\00:51:19.30
WE SEE OURSELVES,
WE'RE STRIPPED NAKED.
00:51:19.30\00:51:21.60
WE SEE OUR SINS, OUR
SILLY PRIDE, OUR VANITY, OUR
00:51:21.60\00:51:27.10
ARROGANCE, OUR BLINDNESS,
OUR COLDNESS, OUR SELFISHNESS.
00:51:27.10\00:51:32.56
YOU KNOW WHY MOST PROFESSING
CHRISTIANS CAN NEVER APOLOGIZE?
00:51:32.56\00:51:42.93
'CAUSE MOST, IN MY EXPERIENCE,
THEY CAN NEVER ADMIT THEY'RE
00:51:42.93\00:51:46.36
WRONG BECAUSE THEY ARE
LOOKING BUT THEY DON'T SEE.
00:51:46.36\00:51:53.36
THIS TAKES A TREMENDOUS MIRACLE,
WHEREBY WE OPEN UP OUR HEARTS.
00:51:53.36\00:52:00.53
YOU KNOW WHY WE DON'T READ OUR
BIBLES EVERY DAY AND WE DON'T
00:52:00.53\00:52:04.30
ACCEPT COUNSEL ON THESE THINGS?
00:52:04.30\00:52:06.66
IT'S BECAUSE WE LOOK.
00:52:06.66\00:52:11.66
WE'RE A CHURCH
AND A RACE OF LOOKERS.
00:52:11.66\00:52:15.40
WHEN WE SEE, IT
WILL BE DIFFERENT.
00:52:15.40\00:52:21.50
WHEN WE SEE OURSELVES, WE WILL
NOT GO AROUND LIKE PUFFED-UP
00:52:21.50\00:52:26.10
LITTLE PEOPLE.
00:52:26.10\00:52:28.93
BUT WE WILL SAY,
LORD, HAVE MERCY UPON ME.
00:52:28.93\00:52:34.66
AND I WANT TO SAY TODAY, NOW IS
THE TIME FOR YOU AND FOR ME TO
00:52:34.66\00:52:42.23
STOP BEING LIKE THE CAT AND TO
STOP LOOKING AND TO START SEEING
00:52:42.23\00:52:49.86
AND TO ACCEPT A NEW LIFE
AND FORGIVENESS AND MERCY
00:52:49.86\00:52:58.76
AND BE HAPPY ABOUT IT.
00:52:58.76\00:53:01.76
YOU KNOW WHY THERE ARE SO
MANY SAD PEOPLE IN CHURCH?
00:53:01.76\00:53:07.43
THEY DON'T SEE THE GOSPEL.
00:53:07.43\00:53:13.73
IT'S TIME TO SEE.
00:53:13.73\00:53:19.70
THINK OF THE CROSS.
00:53:19.70\00:53:22.10
JESUS WAS IN THE CENTER,
TWO THIEVES ON EITHER SIDE.
00:53:22.10\00:53:26.43
YOU KNOW WHY HE
WAS IN THE CENTER?
00:53:26.43\00:53:28.93
BECAUSE HE'S IN THE
CENTER OF THE WORLD.
00:53:28.93\00:53:31.63
HE'S IN THE
CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE.
00:53:31.63\00:53:33.83
AND BOTH THIEVES ARE
CURSING HIM UP AND DOWN.
00:53:33.83\00:53:37.56
THEY'RE CURSING AT HIM.
00:53:37.56\00:53:40.10
SWEARING AND CURSING.
00:53:40.10\00:53:42.26
YOU KNOW, WE HAVE RECORDS THAT
MEN CURSED SO MUCH WHEN THEY
00:53:42.26\00:53:48.60
WERE CRUCIFIED, IT WAS A COMMON
CUSTOM TO CUT OUT THE TONGUES OF
00:53:48.60\00:53:53.06
THE CRUCIFIED
BECAUSE THEY CURSED SO MUCH.
00:53:53.06\00:53:56.86
THESE TWO MEN ARE CURSING HIM.
00:53:56.86\00:54:00.53
BUT THEN ONE STOPS LOOKING.
00:54:00.53\00:54:06.73
THEY'D BOTH BEEN LOOKING AND
ONE STARTS--AND THE CENTURION
00:54:06.73\00:54:11.40
HE STOPPED JUST LOOKING.
00:54:11.40\00:54:14.63
THE CENTURION SAID
THIS MAN WAS THE SON OF GOD.
00:54:14.63\00:54:18.20
BUT THE DYING THIEF,
DON'T SYMBOLIZE WITH HIM,
00:54:18.20\00:54:22.20
HE'S A BAD MAN.
00:54:22.20\00:54:23.40
HE'S A CROOK.
00:54:23.40\00:54:26.26
HE'S A BAD MAN, LIKE SOME OF US.
00:54:26.26\00:54:30.00
WE ARE BAD PEOPLE.
00:54:30.00\00:54:34.76
BUT THE THIEF STOPS JUST
LOOKING AND HE SEES THE KING.
00:54:34.76\00:54:41.93
AND THEN HE CRIES OUT, LORD.
00:54:41.93\00:54:47.53
NOBODY ELSE WAS
CALLING HIM LORD THEN.
00:54:47.53\00:54:50.20
PEOPLE WILL CALL YOU
NICE WORDS WHEN YOU'RE ON TOP.
00:54:50.20\00:54:54.23
NOBODY WAS CALLING HIM
LORD WHEN HE WAS ON THE CROSS.
00:54:54.23\00:54:57.83
BUT THAT THIEF WHO GAVE
THE GREATEST TESTIMONY IN THE
00:54:57.83\00:55:00.23
HISTORY OF THE WORLD, THE THIEF
SAID, "LORD, REMEMBER ME WHEN
00:55:00.23\00:55:07.06
YOU COME INTO YOUR KINGDOM."
00:55:07.06\00:55:08.60
HE SAW HE WAS A KING.
00:55:08.60\00:55:10.36
AND JESUS SAID TO HIM, JESUS
SAID SEVEN WORDS, SEVEN SAYINGS
00:55:10.36\00:55:14.96
ON THE CROSS.
00:55:14.96\00:55:16.73
AND ONE OF THOSE SEVEN SAYINGS
IS THIS ONE, "TRULY, I SAY TO
00:55:16.73\00:55:20.90
YOU TODAY YOU WILL
BE WITH ME IN PARADISE."
00:55:20.90\00:55:26.33
>> HELLO FRIEND, I'M JOHN CARTER
00:55:28.10\00:55:28.16
WITH SOME AMAZING NEWS FOR YOU.
00:55:30.33\00:55:33.30
A FEW DAYS AGO, A
MAN CAME TO THIS CHURCH.
00:55:33.30\00:55:36.20
HE CAME TO SEE ME BECAUSE HE'S
HEARD ABOUT THE CARTER REPORT.
00:55:36.20\00:55:39.63
HE CAME FROM COMMUNIST CHINA
AND HE CAME WITH A MESSAGE.
00:55:39.63\00:55:42.86
HE SAID, "WE'VE GOT OVER THERE
1.2 BILLION SOULS, AND THESE
00:55:44.50\00:55:50.36
PEOPLE NEED TO HEAR THE TRUTHS
ABOUT JESUS AND THE GREAT TRUTHS
00:55:50.36\00:55:54.76
OF THE THREE ANGELS' MESSAGES."
00:55:54.76\00:55:57.33
HE SAID TO ME, "WE'VE HEARD
ABOUT THE CARTER REPORT AND WE
00:55:57.33\00:56:00.90
WANT YOU TO BE OUR PARTNERS IN
THE PREACHING OF THE EVERLASTING
00:56:00.90\00:56:04.80
GOSPEL TO THE CHINESE PEOPLE."
00:56:04.80\00:56:07.20
I SAID, WHAT DO YOU WANT US DO?
00:56:07.20\00:56:09.40
HE SAID, "IT'S NOT CLEAR.
00:56:09.40\00:56:11.06
WE'VE GOTTA PRAY AND WE'VE
GOTTA STRATEGIZE, BUT WE'VE GOT
00:56:11.06\00:56:14.96
SOME PLANS."
00:56:14.96\00:56:16.16
I SAID TO HIM, YOU CAN COUNT ON
US BECAUSE WE CAN HEAR THE VOICE
00:56:16.16\00:56:21.66
OF GOD CALLING TO US TO
WORK FOR THE CHINESE PEOPLE,
00:56:21.66\00:56:25.76
1.2 BILLION PEOPLE.
00:56:25.76\00:56:28.56
PLEASE PRAY FOR CHINA.
00:56:28.56\00:56:30.80
TODAY, I WAS TALKING TO A MAN
00:56:28.56\00:56:30.80
FROM ANOTHER VAST COUNTRY, THE
LAND OF INDIA, A LAND WITH MORE
00:56:32.56\00:56:36.56
THAN A BILLION LOST SOULS
WHO NEED TO HEAR ABOUT JESUS.
00:56:36.56\00:56:41.43
THIS MAN'S NAME IS
PASTOR JOHNSON JACOB.
00:56:41.43\00:56:45.63
WHY IS HE OVER HERE IN ARCADIA
AT THE CARTER REPORT CENTER?
00:56:45.63\00:56:49.43
BECAUSE HE IS TRANSLATING
OUR MATERIAL, OUR EVANGELISTIC
00:56:49.43\00:56:53.46
SERMONS INTO THE TELUGU LANGUAGE
BECAUSE WE ARE BROADCASTING
00:56:53.46\00:56:58.43
THROUGH TELEVISION OVER
THERE IN THAT VAST LAND.
00:56:58.43\00:57:02.03
MY FRIEND, THE DOORS ARE OPENING
EVERYWHERE, PLEASE JOIN WITH US
00:57:02.03\00:57:07.93
AND PRAY WITH US.
00:57:07.93\00:57:09.40
AND WRITE TO ME, JOHN
CARTER, POST OFFICE BOX 1900,
00:57:09.40\00:57:13.13
THOUSAND OAKS, CALIFORNIA 91358.
00:57:13.13\00:57:16.66
